Bishop Blougrams Apology

...ut own that! 

Next, concede again, 
If once we choose belief, on all accounts 
We can't be too decisive in our faith,

As baffled at the game, and losing life. 
He may care little or he may care much 
For riches, honour, pleasure, work, repose,

Captain Craig

The Captain reverently twirled his thumbs
And fixed his eyes on something far away; 
Then, with a gradual gaze, conclusive, shrewd, 
And at the moment unendurable

The Flight Of The Duchess

...obtrusive)
She stopped me, while his rug was shifting,
By a single rapid finger's lifting,
And, with a gesture kind but conclusive,
And a little shake of the head, refused me,---
I say, although she never used me,
Yet when she was mounted, the Gipsy behind her,
And I ventured to remind her,
I suppose with a voice of less steadiness
Than usual, for my feeling exceeded me,
---Something to the effect that I was in readiness
